Then there is the couple that makes everyone around them feel a little queasy. This couple lives by a three letter acronym… P.D.A. One minute you could be talking to your friend blink and they are kissing right in front of you. Scrolling through their Instagram or Facebook pictures consists of lovey-dovey picture one after another.

Then there are the single people. One common single can be defined as the Super Single. The Super Single will probably be caught say things like ‘I don’t need a man!’ or maybe ‘No chick or hashtagging #ForeverAlone. The Super Single acts like they are perfectly fine not being in a relationship, when in reality they envy those in a relationship.
Then there are the obsessive singles. These people stalk their crushes every move. What tweets do they favorite? Who was that girl he was talking to before fourth block? They appear to know more about their crush than the crush even knows about themselves. These singles might as well have planted a chip into their crush to track them.
Lastly, there is the single that could not be happier being single. This person has been single for quite some time and does not complain about it. They do not even take notice to being a third wheel. They have too much going on in their lives to deal with what they see as added stress of relationships. The only relationships they focus on is with their friends.
